[Fantasy] My World (Complete) - Chapter 36

Chapter Eleven: A Sudden Change
Just as I was feeling smug, my expression suddenly changed as suppressed screams reached my ears. Although the sounds were very short and faint, I could clearly hear that at least seven samurai from the Keimiya family had been murdered. And that number was still increasing!
The attackers' shoes must have been wrapped in thick cotton, otherwise I wouldn't have only heard them after they entered the mansion and started killing.
Frowning, I tossed my wine cup, which shattered the window with a "bang," flying into the darkness.
"Ah!"
A soft cry and a thud echoed through the broken window, reaching everyone's ears clearly.
"An enemy!"
Kyotaro reacted, grabbing the large sword from the table and leaping to Keimiya Yu's side.
Hosokawa Itsuki quickly stood up, retreating to the table between Keimiya Yu and Keimiya Tamaki, his eyes nervously fixed on the windows and door.
Keimiya Tamaki seemed even more frightened, throwing herself into Keimiya Yu's arms, not daring to open her eyes.
The aloof and beautiful young woman displayed remarkable composure at this moment. Her beautiful eyes immediately met mine, her head slightly raised, showing neither pleading nor provocation, her cold indifference making me feel a pang of sadness.
However, I didn't know that before today, this aloof and beautiful young woman had always been irritable and fearful. But after becoming my woman, her temperament suddenly became calm and composed… well, perhaps it could be said that it was the effect of yin and yang balancing?
Nodding to Jing Gongyou, I leisurely picked up another wine glass, poured myself a drink, and slowly began to sip.
"Bang bang bang…"
Not long after, the windows on both sides of the hall, the main door, and even the roof beams were smashed open, and more than a dozen ninjas dressed in black rushed in, surrounding us.
Suddenly, the four ninjas blocking the doorway flashed aside, and a burly man walked in laughing loudly.
"It's you?"
Jing Gongyou gritted her teeth and glared at him angrily, "You betrayed me too?"
The burly man was about forty years old, with a kind face, a slicked-back fuss hairstyle, and a topknot, exuding an air of pampered luxury.
"I'm sorry, Lady Keigami."
The man shrugged, his smile unwavering. "I heard your businesses in Jiangnan have all collapsed, and you're heavily in debt?"
"So what? Our Keigami family will rise again!"
Keigami Yu said coldly. "But this is for the best, it lets me see your wolfish ambitions sooner! You're a wasted disciple of my father, a wasted friend of Hideyoshi!"
"Hahaha!"
The man laughed loudly, but his smile vanished abruptly, his face contorting with rage. "That old bastard! He knew I loved you, yet he married you off to the former Crown Prince. And what happened? He was hunted down like a dog! You were dragged along, wandering from place to place, never having a peaceful day! If Fukiishi Ryusei hadn't killed him, I would have killed him sooner or later!"
A blush crossed Keigami Yu's face, but anger raged. "Shut up! I married Hideyoshi, I'm his wife! How dare you have such delusions? And now you're taking advantage of me, are you trying to force me to my death?"
"How could I possibly force you to your death? Ha!"
The man's ferocious expression gradually softened. "I love you so much, how could I possibly hurt you?"
"Pah! Disgusting!"
The cold, beautiful young woman looked at him with disdain. "Explain yourself! You brought so many people here and even killed my loyal servant outside. Isn't that hurting me?"
"No, absolutely not!"
The man said solemnly. "They are all remnants of the Kyou family. I must kill them, and then you will be protected by me, Da Zhong Bao Cheng Xu, forever."
"Madman! You're a madman!"
Kyou Yu suddenly realized something and asked in horror, "You wouldn't... your Yu'er is also someone you want to kill?"
Da Zhong Bao Cheng Xu nodded matter-of-factly. "Of course! He's my main target tonight! Kyou Hideyoshi's bloodline must not remain in this world! He must die!"
"Then you can just die!"
The cold and beautiful young woman couldn't tolerate his words and angrily shouted, "Yagyu Zhaixing, kill him for me!"
Just as Kyoutaro frowned at Jing Gongyu's rudeness, I put down my wine cup and lazily walked out. Jing Gongyu was definitely Jing Gongyu's Achilles' heel. The cold and beautiful woman placed all her hopes on him, preferring to suffer herself rather than let him be hurt. So, I could understand her impolite tone when she ordered me like this.
Daichu Yasuyoshi looked at me and smiled, "This must be the so-called heir of the Yagyu family, Yagyu Zhaixing, right?"
"Indeed!"
I replied with a smile.
"Hahaha, what an idiot!"
Ootori Yasuyuki sneered, then shifted his gaze to Keimiya Yu: "Placing your hopes on him is less desirable than having Kyotaro protect you."
"Since you want to fight me, then I'll grant your wish!"
Upon hearing this, Kyotaro strode forward, raising his broadsword. "Please!"
"Not me, your opponent is... him!"
Ootori Yasuyuki stepped aside, and from the doorway behind him, a thin young man floated lightly onto the nearest pillar, managing to stand upright horizontally. Coupled with his cold and sinister expression, he appeared extremely eerie.
"Haisen Yago, greets Mr. Kyotaro."
The thin young man spoke each word clearly, his voice hoarse and devoid of any emotion.
"You're Fukiishi Yagyu's junior disciple, Haisen Yago? That top-tier assassin from the 'Black Robe Tower'?"
A hint of seriousness appeared on Kyotaro's face.
“Yes,”
Haisen Yago said, “but I’m here for a personal grudge, it has nothing to do with the ‘Black Robe Tower’.”
Since it was Fukiishi Yagyu’s disciple who came to seek revenge, Kyotaro had no reason to refuse. He hesitated for a moment, then looked at me with a questioning gaze.
“Go ahead, I’ll handle things here,”
I said calmly.
“Alright! Mr. Yagyu, I’m counting on you!”
Kyotaro cupped his hands in thanks, then his body suddenly passed through the crowd on the left, rushing out of the room with a “whoosh.”
Almost at the same time, Haisen Yago’s shadow also disappeared into thin air.
“Ah!”
After the two of them were gone, the three black-clad ninjas standing on the side Kyotaro had leaped out of suddenly clutched their throats and collapsed limply.
"Haha, what a fast blade!"
Da Zhongbao Chengxu looked at his fallen subordinate as if he were a stone sculpture, his tone completely unwavering: "This guy who wants to be a protector of flowers is called Liu Sheng Zhaixing, right? Come on, let me see if you're up to the task."
"Careful! His martial arts are extremely... uh!"
The cold-bearded beautiful young woman was afraid that I would be provoked, so she hurriedly tried to warn me, but before she could finish her sentence, a shadow flashed before her eyes, and she had already appeared in front of Da Zhongbao Chengxu, grabbing him by the neck with one hand and lifting him high into the air.
Da Zhongbao Chengxu was also startled. He instinctively tried to raise his hands, but the chilling killing intent emanating from his throat instantly filled his entire body, rendering him powerless.
At this moment, I turned around and smiled gently, "Madam, what did you just say?"
Between this shock and delight, Jing Gongyu, who was secretly watching, broke out in a cold sweat. This dramatic turn of events left him breathless with tension.
Hosokawa Itsuki clenched his fist and waved it excitedly—it was so satisfying! Jing Gongyu hadn't expected me to be so powerful. Da Zhongbao Chengxu's masters were all renowned masters in Japan, yet I had captured them so easily.
Seeing that her warning had no effect, the cold and beautiful woman replied irritably, "I told you to kill him immediately!"
"Fine!"
With a flick of my wrist and a "crack," Da Zhongbao Chengxu's body slammed into one of his men, his neck drooping irregularly, already lifeless.
"Ah! Master!"
A dozen or so black-clad ninjas were stunned. They hadn't dared to make a move, fearing they might provoke me and I would immediately kill them. They hadn't expected me to be so decisive, killing this renowned master and nobleman of Kobe without any conditions or pleasantries.
Like…like killing an ant!
"Kill him! Avenge our master!"
The next moment, the black-clad ninjas swarmed forward, their katana flashing like the wind, enveloping me in clouds of light.
I sneered, unleashing fifty-eight lightning-fast palm strikes with both hands. Then, with a light tap of my toes, I snapped the necks of two leaping attackers. Using the momentum, I rose again, and before I even landed, my palms unleashed a flurry of palm shadows. Amidst the sounds of "bang bang," screams of agony rose and fell.
"Whoa!"
As the last black-clad ninja turned to run away to report, I used my foot to flick a katana, striking him squarely in the back. There were no more enemies in the hall. That wasn't all. I leaped into the darkness as well. Amidst the fierce clash of swords outside, several more screams rang out.
Jinggong Yu, holding her son, stared motionlessly at the dark doorway.
Hosokawa Itsuki said beside her, "Please rest assured, Madam. Mr. Yagyu's martial arts are unparalleled; he must have gone to hunt down the remaining enemies outside. He'll be fine."
"I know,"
Jinggong Yu said calmly. Then she turned to Hosokawa Itsuki, a slight smile on her face. "Yu'er offended you earlier; please forgive his ignorance."
"Ah, not at all! It was my incompetence that disappointed you, Young Master and Madam."
Hosokawa Itsuki's resentment vanished instantly with Jinggong Yu's apology; after all, he had followed the Goyoji family for generations.
Jinggong Yu, nestled in the arms of the cold, beautiful young woman, inwardly snorted, but knew this wasn't the time to speak, so he held back.
"Bang!"
A moment later, two things were suddenly thrown into the dark doorway, startling the three of them. Upon closer inspection, they realized that the two people thrown in were two men, one tall and one fat—none other than Fujita Yu and Yamanaka Hirotaka.
They were unable to move or speak, only able to make terrified "uh-uh" sounds.
"Oh, what happened to you?"
Keimiya Yu struggled to her feet from Keimiya Yu's arms, looked around, and wanted to run over to see what was wrong.
"Stop!"
A cold voice rang out as I stepped into the room from the darkness. Keimiya Yu knew she hated the man who had violated her chastity, but the thought of him fighting for her in the courtyard kept her calm. However, upon seeing me, she frowned and said, "What do you mean by this? Why are you bullying them? Where are the enemies?"
Even Hosokawa Itsuki felt a chill this time; the mistress's tone was too harsh.
I noticed this too, and immediately used telepathy to say to the aloof and beautiful young woman, "You stupid woman, do you want everyone to know about our relationship? You better behave yourself in front of outsiders, or I'll spank you!"
The aloof and beautiful young woman blushed upon hearing this. She quickly glanced at her son and Hosokawa Itsuki beside her, and seeing that neither of them showed any shock, she immediately understood that this man was speaking telepathically.
Jinggong Yu opened her mouth to retort, but suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to know martial arts, so she had to give up in frustration.
Hosokawa Itsuki and Jinggong Yu didn't hear me speak, but they saw me glare at Jinggong Yu with displeasure. Fortunately, I didn't say anything harsh, letting them know it was just a false alarm.
"Aren't you wondering why Taichu Baocheng knows so much about your affairs?"
I shrugged, and as I walked past Fujita Yu and Yamanaka Hirotaka, I kicked them to release their speech impediments. "Ask them what happened!"
The three of them immediately understood and were so angry they were practically fuming.
Without a word, Jing Gongyu rushed forward and kicked them several times. Unable to dodge, the two cried out in pain, "Stop hitting us! Stop hitting us! Young Master, spare us!"
"Enough!"
Jing Gongyou waved her hand, stopping her son, her eyes icy cold. "Fujita Yu, Yamanaka Hirotaka, why?"
The two shivered, speechless. "I..."
The beautiful young woman said calmly, "Although my Jing Gong family has fallen on hard times, we have never mistreated you two. Not only are your food, clothing, and lodging of the highest quality, but you also have beautiful wives and concubines, and luxurious mansions. Even in Jiangnan, this is considered quite good. Is this how you repay us, a widow and her orphans?"
"Mistress! Spare us!"
Fujita Yu cried pitifully, "I was just momentarily blinded by greed. It was all that bastard Yamanaka's idea; it has nothing to do with me!"
Yamanaka Hirotaka trembled with rage: "Bullshit! Who gave me that first concubine? Who gave me those ten thousand gold coins? This time, back on Fusang Island, who was the one who proactively sought out Taichu Baocheng to renew the contract?" Fujita
Yu immediately retorted: "I didn't mention that. And who accepted the bribe of five hundred thousand gold coins for this batch of porcelain first, and then dragged me into it? If it weren't for you, would the mistress have lost two hundred million?"
"Nonsense!"
Yamanaka Hirotaka roared: "That was Naruki Sukero who took the money first, all of mine was given to me by him!"
"..."
The two accused each other, and without any further interrogation, they recounted everything the other had done. Finally, it was Keimiya Yu who threw a cup at Fujita Yu's face, bringing their voices to an abrupt halt.
Coming to their senses, they realized what they had said, and seeing the expressions on the mistress and the young master's faces, their hearts sank, and they fell into despair.
"Hahaha!"
Yamanaka Hirotaka laughed loudly first, "Kimi Yu, you big-breasted, brainless woman, the Kimi family has been destroyed in your hands. It won't be long before you suffer the same fate as us!"
"How could you suffer the same fate?"
Fujita Yuya said coldly, "In the Jiangnan region, there are countless wealthy merchants who want to take her as a sex slave. Just watch, having lost her wealth and incurred huge debts, she will soon become the most lowly slave, fucked by thousands! You filthy bitch! My only regret is not fucking you to pieces!"
"Shut up! All of you shut up!"
Jing Gongyu hadn't gone far. The boy standing beside them, hearing such insults directed at his mother, went berserk
, punching and kicking the two men. The two, now desperate, screamed in pain and berated the boy who had been so fawning before: "Haha...cough cough...Jing Gongyu, you idiot, you know nothing, you're a fucking piece of trash! Your Jing Gong family is finished! You'll be a beggar too...haha, the most miserable thing in the world awaits you..."
"Damn it!"
A venomous glint flashed in Jing Gongyu's eyes. He pulled a small knife from his pocket and stabbed the two men .
"I'll teach you to talk! You beasts! I'll teach you to betray me!"
Jing Gongyu was truly ruthless, stabbing them repeatedly, dozens of times, until they were riddled with holes and lifeless. Even then, he didn't stop.
This bloody scene made Hosokawa Itsuki turn his head away.
The cold and beautiful young woman clenched her fists, but her mind was clearly elsewhere, lost in thought. When she felt the room had quieted down, she saw this scene and was startled.
"Yu'er, that's enough!"
Jing Gongyou quickly stopped her son. Jing Gongyu was covered in blood, his mind consumed by hatred; how could he stop?
Helpless, the cold and beautiful young woman could only look to me for help. I nodded slightly, and with a flick of my wrist, Jing Gongyu collapsed limply.
"Mr. Hosokawa, please carry him inside and clean him up. We'll be leaving soon,"
I said, bowing to Hosokawa Itsuki.
"Alright!"
Hosokawa Itsuki first glanced at his wife, and after Jing Gongyou nodded, he quickly ran forward, carrying Jing Gongyu away.

Chapter Twelve: Escape in the Night
"What do we do?"
the cold and beautiful young woman asked in a low voice.
“Madam, you’re acting so suspiciously. Even if others don’t suspect anything, they’ll think we’re having an affair,”
I said with a smile.
“Pah! You bastard!”
Jing Gongyou blushed. “Didn’t I say we shouldn’t mention this again?”
“I didn’t mention it. I just wanted you to act normal. Don’t be so guilty that you can’t even speak properly.”
“You bastard!”
The cold, beautiful young woman didn’t have many curse words. She frowned and said, “I’m asking you something important!”
“You heard what I said, right? As soon as Kyotaro returns, we need to leave. Otherwise, if we’re entangled with Ootori Yasuyuki’s men, it’ll be difficult for us to escape.”
“Did you kill him and his men?”
 “It’s not that simple. You should be glad that Ootori Yasuyuki only coveted your beauty. He didn’t think to inform on you immediately, allowing the authorities to arrest you. Otherwise, with the army surrounding us, we wouldn’t be able to leave.” “
Hmm…”
The cold, beautiful young woman looked outside and asked, “Is Kyotaro alright?”
"There shouldn't be any problem,"
I said calmly. "His strength is a notch above Haisen Miwu's, and he's also experienced in life-or-death battles. At most, it'll be a draw."
"Then why aren't you going to help him?"
Jing Gongyou asked nervously, her tone pleading.
"How can outsiders interfere in a fight between samurai?"
I said indifferently. "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the rules!"
"I'm just afraid something might happen to him... He's the only expert in our family..."
the cold and beautiful young woman argued softly.
"How can one grow without experiencing trials?"
I scolded. "If he always needs help, how can he truly become the protector of your family?"
"Oh..."
Jing Gongyou pouted, nodding as if she understood.
I sighed. "But you also need to think about how we're going to get out and where we're going."
"I left people and a ship at the port... Damn it!"
The cold and beautiful woman's face immediately turned ugly halfway through her sentence, because she suddenly realized that there was a traitor in the family, and the people at the port had probably already been killed.
"That doesn't matter. Kobe Port is full of ships of all sizes; with money, you can get out."
I said in a deep voice, "The most important thing is, do you really want to go back to Jiangnan in the Great Yuan Kingdom?"
"If I don't go home, where else can I go?"
The beautiful young woman rolled her eyes at me.
"But don't forget, you mortgaged all your shops, and that confidant you left in Jiangnan named Cheng Muzhulang, I think he probably already sold everything in your house and ran off with the money!"
"Oh..."
Jing Gongyou covered her mouth, her eyes showing extreme horror. Looking at the two traitors lying in a pool of blood, and thinking about what they had just said, Jing Gongyou was almost certain that what this man said was true.
"Let's go out first!"
Jinggong You was no ordinary, weak woman. She gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go back to Jiangnan first. I'll find someone to help with the rest... Don't worry, my two sisters-in-law are still at the manor. With them there, Chengmu Zhulang can at most steal some valuables and leave; he definitely won't be able to sell the manor."
"Hmm, that's good then,"
I said gently.
Having the Jinggong sisters around wasn't much of an advantage, except for having a skilled fighter in a fight. But as their clever husband, I had specially asked Xiaoyu to accompany him. With this mischievous girl around, how could Chengmu Zhulang possibly cause trouble?
As we were talking, Gong Taro strode in.
His reappearance was a bit frightening; a broken large sword was still stuck in his left shoulder. If he hadn't been so spirited, Jinggong You would have been worried sick again.
"Are you alright?"
I greeted him with a smile.
"I didn't expect Haisen Yago to be so powerful. He must have practiced other martial arts; it doesn't seem like Fukiishi Yagyu's style,"
Kyotaro laughed. "But even his master died at my hands, how could Haisen Yago be more powerful than Fukiishi Yagyu? Although he was injured, at least he didn't leave any lasting damage."
"Kyotaro, go and bandage yourself quickly, we're leaving right away!"
Keimiya Yu instructed with concern.
"Okay!"
Kyotaro didn't stand on ceremony, cupped his hands in greeting, and strode towards the back room.
Watching him leave, the aloof and beautiful young woman turned to me and asked, "Is there anyone else in the house?"
I couldn't help but sigh. "Why are you so much nicer to Kyotaro than to me? You asked him for a favor, aren't you angry?"
"What kind of time is this, and you're still... still..."
Jing Gongyou said coquettishly, half-laughing, half-crying, "He's the most loyal person in our family, what's wrong with me caring about him? Don't be so silly, okay? Help me get through this first." "
Actually, it's very simple."
I smiled. "By the way, how's Taichu Yasuyuki's influence in Kobe Port?"
"Very large!"
Keimiya Yu said without hesitation, "His family has thousands of samurai and controls a sizable navy. Even the lord of Kobe Castle is no match for him."
"Then, for the first step, we can't go to Kobe Port. If we are caught by ōtadaori Masatsugu's men in the Seto Inland Sea, my martial arts skills will be useless at sea."
"But how do we get back to Jiangnan if we don't take the waterway?"
"We'll travel by land first, from Kobe north to Tanba, then from Tanba to Tango, then sail out to sea from Wakasa Bay, south along the Korean Peninsula, and finally arrive in Jiangnan."
Keimiya Yu had been involved in trade for some time and was very familiar with the terrain. After a little thought, he felt that this plan was feasible.
"Alright, Yagyu Zhaixing, the lives of my son, my retainers, and I are entrusted to you!"
The cold and beautiful young woman stood up, placed her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and bowed elegantly.
We had barely left Kobe Castle when a commotion erupted within the city. With the sound of horns, countless torches lit up the night sky.
These torches converged towards the east gate, not far from Kobe Port. The cold, beautiful woman who lifted the curtain to witness this scene was filled with gratitude. If it weren't for my foresight, we wouldn't have gotten very far, even if we were on a ship.
My mood wasn't as good as hers. The ōtada Yasuyuki family would undoubtedly rush to the port first, but they wouldn't give up on land either. There was still much to be done to shake them off.
Sure enough, by the next morning, news spread that remnants of the Keimiya family had appeared near Kobe Port. Both the Hojo imperial family and the ōtada Yasuyuki family offered hefty bounties for our capture.
Along the way, I changed horses and carriages at almost every village we passed through, so that even if someone tried to track us down, they wouldn't find any trace.
The message was delivered by carrier pigeon. Our carriage was quite fast, and with generous bribes and unwavering vigilance, we arrived at Wakasa Bay in the central part of Honshu Island by noon the next day.
Wakasa Bay is a semi-circular harbor, set back about 100 nautical miles from the coastline, making it a sunny and pleasant inland port. Its
excellent environment, coupled with its proximity to the Korean Peninsula a thousand nautical miles away and convenient transportation, makes it even larger than Kobe Port, bustling with ships.
This wasn't a good place to stop, so we hired a medium-sized vessel and headed west. After traveling 200 nautical miles, we came upon the isolated Shimae Islands.
The Shimae Islands consist of more than a dozen islands of varying sizes, located between Fusang Island and the Korean Peninsula. There are many ships from both sides here; officials only need to pay a fee to anchor. It's said that many pirates who need rest disguised themselves and come here to recuperate.
Every day, at least a hundred ships set sail from here to various places by sea and land. Among such a number, finding one that fits our route shouldn't be difficult. I went out for a while and found a medium-sized ship, slightly larger than the one I used to come to Fusang, belonging to a small merchant from the Yuan Dynasty. We set sail for Jiangnan. Only then did Keimiya Yu and Kyotaro finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Sitting in the lounge beside the deck, a mix of emotions welled up in everyone's hearts. Even Keimiya Yu, a boy lacking in wisdom, couldn't help but feel inexplicably melancholy.
During the journey, Keimiya Yu had already shared my analysis with them. The thought of their family's destruction and death seemed imminent, and they all felt terrible.
I'm sure that if they hadn't been thinking about the Keimiya sisters and my help, their mood would have been even more pessimistic and sorrowful.
Thinking about Keimiya Hideyoshi's heroic downfall a year ago, and then about the difficulties the Keimiya family had faced this past year, I felt a pang of sympathy. Even for the sake of Xiaomei and Xiaocai, I had an obligation to take care of them!
When it was time for dinner, we were seated in the dining hall, while the ship owner and his entourage took their bowls to the deck, chatting and sitting or standing.
I had paid a hefty fee of five thousand gold coins for this trip; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to set sail so quickly, nor would we have received such excellent treatment. Not only were the meals specially prepared, but the ship owner also gave us a cabin to rest in, and even the goods originally intended for transshipment to the Korean Peninsula were sold at a discount to other merchants.
The ship owner, of course, wasn't losing out either; this trip would earn him at least three thousand gold coins more than initially planned, and it was much easier for him—why wouldn't he?
Although the ship wasn't large, the ship owner, being from the Yuan Dynasty, inherited the Yuan people's love of fine food. He hired a good cook who, using the abundant seafood from the islands, prepared several famous dishes such as "Steamed Scallops," "Assorted Sea Cucumbers," "Spicy Crab," and "Drunken Shrimp," all of which tasted quite good.
After eating several large crabs and finishing a plate of "mixed sea cucumbers," I noticed they weren't eating much, so I smiled and said, "Eat up! This tastes good, very fresh!"
Kyotaro smiled wryly, "Young Master Yagyu, how can we possibly eat at a time like this?"
I said calmly, "Precisely because this is a time of crisis, you should all take care of your health. If you don't have the strength, how can you cope with difficulties... Don't worry, with me here, there's no problem that can't be solved!"
Others might not know, but Jing Gongyou knew from the glance I gave her that the last sentence was directed at her.
The aloof, beautiful young woman wrinkled her nose, "You're just talking big! Only that brat Ren Lanting can solve our problem. What can you do? You're just a braggart!"
That's what she thought, but having someone comfort her in her distress, especially since this man was someone she had a close relationship with, instantly lifted her spirits.
"Yes! That's how it should be!"
Seeing that they had all started eating, I picked up a large crab for each of them: "Here, have a taste, this kind of large crab is really sweet and delicious!"
"Haven't you ever eaten seafood like this before? You look like you're wolfing it down!"
Jing Gongyou asked curiously.
"Oh, we live in the mountains, we eat simple meals, we don't have such sumptuous food."
I shrugged.
"Then you should come to Jiangnan with us, Young Master Yagyu."
Hosokawa Itsuki laughed: "Eating too much seafood always leaves a fishy smell, the food of the Great Yuan Kingdom is so much better, the eighteen major cuisines, I guarantee you won't want to leave!"
"Hehe, yes, that's exactly why I want to see it!"
I ate a few more bites of food, then stood up: "You guys eat first, I'm full, I'm going out for a stroll."
"That's so rude, how can you leave before everyone has finished eating?"
Jing Gongyou complained softly.
Jing Gongyu naturally agreed with her mother's statement, nodding repeatedly, "Yes, Mother, but he's just a rough mountain man, you shouldn't take it so seriously."
Gongtaro and Hosokawa Itsuki shook their heads slightly.
"Mistress, you can't think like that,"
Hosokawa Itsuki lowered his voice, "Do you really think Prince Yagyu went for a stroll? From what I've learned about him these past two days, he definitely went to chat with the ship owner, find out the situation, and gather information. You should definitely try to recruit such a highly skilled and cunning individual, instead of constantly belittling him."
Kōtarō chimed in, "Exactly, Madam. We're the ones who need his help now, how can we treat him like a servant? A talent like Yagyu-sama is highly sought after everywhere. Although I see he... seems to have a bit of a crush on you, Madam, it's right that you don't treat him coldly, but your attitude was a bit too harsh... We can't give him any tangible rewards right now, so it's better to win him over with sincerity and enthusiasm."
No tangible rewards?
Kōdō Yu couldn't help but spit. She'd already been taken advantage of, and he still called it not giving her any benefits? Her subordinates were unaware of her entanglement with this scoundrel, so they thought her attitude was wrong, but she couldn't tell them directly...
Ugh, it's infuriating!

Episode 20

[Episode Synopsis]
Hmm! This Shangguan Xiaolian has sharp eyes! She knew at a glance that Jing Gongyou was already my man!
It seems I have to be more careful to avoid being exposed and ruining the grain-buying plan.
But why don't the grain merchants of the Great Yuan Kingdom have any ties with outsiders? They're all helping their own people. Who will the Emperor's father-in-law buy the grain he needs…
I promised Xiao Yu I would help her get revenge, but I didn't expect her enemy to be my master’s…
This task is too difficult. Should Xiao Yu pay some upfront?

Chapter 1 Suzhou Trip
February 3rd, afternoon. After more than three days of rapid travel, we finally arrived in Jiangnan of the Great Yuan Kingdom. I was initially worried, as the Japanese pirates operating near the Yuan Dynasty were numerous. If we encountered a large-scale pirate fleet, it would be disastrous.
However, I discovered there was no need to worry. Aside from some pirates near the Korean Peninsula, sailing along the Yuan Dynasty's coastline for hundreds of nautical miles, the entire area was teeming with Yuan Dynasty naval fleets of all sizes. Just seeing those massive ships, some fifty or sixty meters high and thirty or forty meters wide, was enough to intimidate the pirates.
According to this Yuan Dynasty ship owner, the navy's constant patrols along the coastline were entirely due to the financial support of merchants in the port cities, who paid for the daily expenses and the navy's salaries.
Although the cost amounted to 30% of the annual profits of the major merchant guilds, everyone felt it was worthwhile. The pirates didn't just rob; they often killed and plundered. Goods stolen and money lost could be earned back, but losing one's life meant nowhere to turn. More importantly, the naval patrols ensured the safety of the coastal population, preventing the pirates from landing and looting.
I was immediately puzzled. The Japanese pirates still raid the coast from time to time, so how did you come across as everyone working together to keep them out of the country? The ship owner explained, "That's the power of money. Don't be fooled by how safe our areas are; some merchants are unwilling to pay, so the navy doesn't protect them as diligently. It's understandable that the pirates break through the defenses and raid coastal prefectures and counties."
I shook my head inwardly. Was this navy for the Great Yuan Dynasty or for the merchants? They only protected the people's safety if the merchants paid; otherwise, they were left to fend for themselves. "Heh, speaking of which, the Jiangnan General Chamber of Commerce is the most generous of these contributing chambers. They cover almost 60% of the expenses,"
the ship owner sighed. "Moreover, their own merchant ships are very well-armed. Any ship with a golden phoenix emblem on its bow is feared by pirates; otherwise, they'll face fierce retaliation." "
Since the Jiangnan General Chamber of Commerce is so good, why don't you join?"
I asked curiously.
"Young Master, do you think joining the Jiangnan General Chamber of Commerce is as easy as it sounds? The difficulty of joining surpasses even passing the imperial examinations!"
The ship owner counted on his fingers: "You need proof that three generations have lived in the three prefectures of Jiangnan, recommendations from at least five members of the Jiangnan General Chamber of Commerce, assets of no less than fifty million gold coins, no history of malicious violations of merchant ethics, and annual donations to your hometown of no less than one million gold coins..."
"Really? Are you selecting members for the Chamber of Commerce? It's practically selecting saints!" I exclaimed in surprise. "Saints?"
The ship owner smiled: "It depends on what kind. If it's people from Jiangnan, then they're definitely saints. But for merchants or buyers from other places, they're often cunning, treacherous, and heartless demons
." I nodded and smiled. In the Northwest, especially in Xiliang City, I was hailed as a god-like figure, but in the desert, my name could keep children from crying at night—I was also a demon.
Because the Jinggong family was based in Suzhou City, the ship entered Suzhou Port. Suzhou, one of the three major prefectures south of the Yangtze River, lies between Yangzhou to the north and Hangzhou to the south, and is the most exposed of the three to the sea.
After hundreds of years of development, Suzhou has a dense network of rivers and canals, and with the surrounding lakes and rivers, it is easy for ships to navigate, facilitating the travel and movement of merchants.
Irrigated by these rivers, Suzhou has been a renowned land of plenty since ancient times. Not only Suzhou, but also Yangzhou and Hangzhou, are often praised with the saying, "When Jiangnan is prosperous, the whole country is well-fed."
Therefore, more than two hundred years ago, an emperor commissioned the construction of the Grand Canal, known as the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It runs from the capital in the north to Hangzhou in the south, connecting the capital with the three prefectures south of the Yangtze River. This allowed goods from the south to be continuously transported to the capital and the north, while products from the north could be continuously supplied to the south, greatly benefiting the national economy. Unfortunately, the construction of the Grand Canal was rushed, causing widespread hardship for the workers. The emperor was overthrown the year the canal opened, and the Yuan Dynasty succeeded him. I remember this emperor not for his achievements in building the Grand Canal, but for his actions: killing his elder brother, forcing his father to abdicate, taking all his father's and brothers' women, and seizing countless wives and daughters of his ministers. He also held annual beauty pageants with three thousand beauties…
This is why everyone opposed him – "I can't even protect my wife and daughters, why should I follow you? Let's rebel!"
This unfortunate emperor was actually quite talented, inventing all sorts of bizarre and erotic techniques. For example, he invented using beautiful women as mattresses… He could be considered a genius in the world of eroticism. If he weren't an emperor but a member of my cult, he would probably be worshipped in the halls of worship in the world of eroticism long ago.
Well, I've digressed. You can see how much I envy this emperor's life.
Yes, I only feel envy, not a desire to emulate. Having so many beautiful women is certainly a good thing, but the endings are often too tragic. I, Young Master Ri, wish to live to a ripe old age with my wives. Shifting my thoughts, I watched the ships line up for inspection and then enter the vast and magnificent Suzhou Port in order, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. Suzhou Port stretches for dozens of miles, its imposing walls constructed entirely of rice paste mixed with bluestone, incredibly sturdy; the thickness reaches at least ten meters, and even the thinnest is five or six meters; the highest point is over eighty meters, the lowest over twenty meters… the undulating terrain, in a wondrous way, integrates these dozens of miles into a unified whole.
Along the way, there are as many as fifteen iron locks and river-blocking chains in the port, coupled with the intricate terrain, making it impossible for ships to even attempt to enter Suzhou via the waterway.
As for breaching the walls, that's even more impossible.
Don't be fooled by the small number of people around the wall now. I know there are five military camps behind it, garrisoned by 50,000 elite troops. If the situation changes, they can swiftly seize advantageous positions within the time it takes to burn an incense stick to open fire on any enemy coming from the sea.
Moreover, the navy stationed in Jiangnan is the renowned Royal First Fleet. To defeat them and then advance on the three prefectures of Jiangnan is practically a pipe dream. Therefore, in the past hundred years, Jiangnan has only experienced two minor incidents and has never been overrun by large-scale pirate attacks. Suzhou Port is so large that there is certainly more than one place to moor ships. It is divided into more than twenty ports of varying sizes to accommodate ships of different ranks. Here, "rank" refers to both the size and status of the ships. From the sea into the waterways of Suzhou Port, small boats painted red direct the ships arriving at Suzhou Port to their designated destinations. "Alright, there are fewer ships returning today. You can go ashore in a little while."
When we arrived at the No. 3 pier of the "Yu" ship, the boy on the small boat waved and smiled at us from across the water. He was a laborer at Suzhou Port, a native of Suzhou. He worked three hours a day and earned twenty gold coins a month, which was a decent income.
Short working hours, high pay, and not too tiring – this was only possible in Jiangnan. Otherwise, who would offer such a benefit to the locals?
Watching the small red boat disappear into the distance, I asked the boat owner, "The young man was so busy and enthusiastic in guiding us; why didn't you think of giving him a tip?"
The boat owner laughed and said that the people of Jiangnan were very law-abiding; they wouldn't take money that wasn't theirs. Otherwise, if the Chamber of Commerce inspectors found out, losing their job wouldn't be the worst part; they'd also be ridiculed by their neighbors, which wouldn't be worth it. I couldn't help but admire it again: "This Jiangnan General Chamber of Commerce is truly remarkable. It's practically an independent commercial kingdom, and with such a positive and enterprising spirit, no wonder it makes countless fortunes and enriches the world."
Suzhou Port uses the characters "天地玄黄宇宙" (Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow, Universe) to name its ports. The third pier, designated as "宇" (Yu), is specifically for merchants from five northern prefectures of the Great Yuan Kingdom. However, these five prefectures are impoverished areas with few ships, so the port designated for them is not large. Indeed, there weren't many ships today; there were only five or six small fleets ahead of us.
According to the ship owners, the fifteen piers designated as "地" (Di), "玄" (Xuan), and "黄" (Huang) are incredibly crowded. Thousands of ships come and go from each port every day, and just waiting to enter or depart can take two or three hours.
There are ports even more leisurely than ours—Pier No. 1, the "Heavenly One," is the largest and best-located of all the piers, reserved exclusively for the core members of the five major families of the Jiangnan General Chamber of Commerce. Their private fleets enter and exit through Pier No. 1, while their merchant caravans usually operate from Pier No. 2.
The strict and meticulous division of these twenty-odd ports, large and small, is making my head spin. And this is just Suzhou Port; there are also Yangzhou Port and Hangzhou Port, and the fertile hinterland of Jiangnan… How many rules must there be?
"Xiao Ye, you're back? Perfect timing! Quick, quick, stop those ships heading towards 'Yu' No. 3 Pier and make them divert to Pier 4."
"Why, Brother Jie?"
"We just got news that there was a major accident near 'Tian' No. 1 Pier, so that pier is temporarily closed. But as luck would have it, Aunt Shangguan is scheduled to enter the port in a little while, and after an emergency dispatch, it was found that 'Yu' No. 3 Pier meets the safety requirements, so Aunt's ship is allowed to dock there." "
Ah? I just guided a small boat there!"
"Well, that's no use. Let's leave those that are already there for now. There are a few other ships that want to go there too, so come with me and stop them!"
"Okay!"
A little while later, a ship was already docked at the designated spot, and we followed the actions of a guide waving a flag on the pier and slowly began to move forward. Suddenly, the guide's previously methodical movements became tense. He abruptly stood up from the flagpole, frantically gesturing, waving two red and yellow flags like two clusters of flowers. "What's he doing? Dancing?"
I asked the ship's captain.
"No! He wants us to stop."
The captain suddenly remembered something, quickly walked to the other side, looked back, and his expression changed drastically: "My God, her fleet is here!"
"Who?"
I also walked over and looked in the direction he was looking.
A thousand meters away, five ships, each over twenty meters tall, were approaching us in a cone formation. On their bows, golden phoenixes seemed poised to take flight in the sunlight, complemented by vibrant peonies.
"Miss Shangguan!"
the captain whispered, quickly telling the helmsman to change course and avoid the fleet.
"Shangguan Xiaolian? That 'Poisonous Scorpion Demoness'?"
"Heavens, do you want to die? Don't let anyone know you call her that, or you won't even know how you died!"
The ship owner was so frightened that he quickly moved three feet away from me, afraid that I would pass on my bad luck to him.
"Don't be so nervous, she's not the emperor's daughter, it's not that serious."
I shrugged.
"Even the emperor's daughter isn't as powerful as her in Jiangnan!"
The ship owner paused, swallowing the rest of his words. "I'll go over there to direct the turning. Young Master Liu, please don't say anything more, or I'll be in trouble with you."
"Alright."
The ship owner wasn't one to joke around; he was a bit old-fashioned, so I didn't say anything more. When Shangguan Xiaolian's fleet was about to enter the port, he really wanted to give up his position immediately, but unfortunately, our current position wasn't far from the port at all. Turning around would only further obstruct the route. For a moment, the ship owner was sweating profusely with anxiety.
Fortunately, the guide was experienced. Seeing that things had already come to this, he simply decided to let them all enter the harbor together. He told their small boat to dock to the side, leaving room for the flagship, and that the other ships could dock later.
It must be said that his instructions were very efficient. Seeing this, Shangguan Xiaolian's flagship didn't argue and obediently entered alongside them, docking at the harbor almost simultaneously.
"Whoosh..."
The two ships that docked at the same time received completely different treatment. Hundreds of port staff, some working and some resting, swarmed to Shangguan Xiaolian's flagship, arranging for the deck to be lowered, handing out chains and ropes to the flagship... In short, every imaginable service was provided, with meticulous care. Our situation was much worse; we had to do everything ourselves. Fortunately, the ship wasn't too big, and the captain quickly lowered the deck, spoke with the only young man left behind, and handed over his identification. Kyotaro then presented his identification, belonging to the Kyou family. Kyotaro glanced at it briefly, waved for passage, and dashed off towards Shangguan Xiaolian's flagship.
This wasn't the only checkpoint. Led by Kyotaro, we proceeded from the harbor to another checkpoint made of barricades. The barricades were irregularly arranged, seven or eight layers high, requiring us to navigate a winding path—a very cumbersome process.
However, I could see the advantage of this method: it provided extra security.
But as soon as we passed the checkpoint, several squads of armored soldiers carefully dragged the barricades aside. Undoubtedly, they were clearing obstacles for Shangguan Xiaolian's impending passage.
Seeing this, I stopped and stood still.
"What's wrong?"
Kyotaro asked, puzzled.
"I want to meet Shangguan Xiaolian, one of the so-called two genius girls, and see what kind of woman she really is,"
I said with a smile. "Oh, I want to meet her too!"
Jing Gongyu nodded repeatedly. This was the first time he had agreed with me. Judging from his lewd expression, this lustful and mean-spirited boy was clearly up to something about Shangguan Xiaolian. "No! We have to go home!"
Jing Gongyou refused without hesitation. She was actually hoping that I would turn my attention to Shangguan Xiaolian and stop bothering her, but her son had unrealistic fantasies about her, which was intolerable to the cold and beautiful young woman. Silly child, how could you possibly have designs on Shangguan Xiaolian?
If Jing Gongxiu hadn't yet fallen, perhaps Jing Gongyou would have thought that Shangguan Xiaolian was barely worthy of her son, but after a year of experience in the business world, she had long since recognized the cruelty of reality and understood that the cruelty of the business world was no less than that of the battlefield. As a ruthless and talented young woman in the business world, how could someone as unintelligent as her son possibly handle her?
Deep within the heart of this cold and beautiful woman, the naive innocence of her youth had long since vanished. Even the ultimate goal of the Jinggong family—to reclaim the throne—had begun to waver.
The reason was simple: Jinggong Yu felt such a path was far too arduous. She herself was fine, but if her son lived in such a repressive and anxious atmosphere every day, there would be no happiness to speak of. This was also a major reason why she accepted Kyotaro's suggestion to seek refuge with the young princess and her husband in the Kingdom of Ryufu. She felt that if her son's abilities were indeed inferior to her deceased husband's, then ensuring his happiness and preserving the Jinggong family's wealth for centuries was the most she could do.
"Mother…"
Jinggong Yu pleaded, looking at Jinggong Yu.
"No, we're leaving now—" Jing Gongyou coldly pulled her son, glancing at me as she said, "Mr. Yagyu, if you're not leaving, we'll be going first."
"Fine."
I had already turned towards the dock, and without turning back, I waved my hand and said, "You guys go first!"
Jing Gongyou was furious. This despicable man didn't respect her at all. After all, she was his woman. Did he have to disrespect her like this for a woman he had never met?
Gong Taro was also panicking. They had already arrived in Jiangnan, and the Jing Gong family was no longer of much use to Mr. Yagyu Zhaixing. If they let Yagyu Zhaixing leave like this, all their efforts would be in vain!
"Madam! I haven't met Miss Shangguan either. Now that we have this opportunity, why don't we take a look and then decide?"
Helpless, Gong Taro could only say something he didn't mean.
"Yes, legend has it that Miss Shangguan is as beautiful as a celestial being, a peerless beauty. It seems like a pleasure for us refined gentlemen to admire her from afar!"
Hosokawa Itsuki chimed in. Having witnessed the conversation of the past few days, Jing Gongyou knew perfectly well that her two subordinates were helping her retain Yagyu Zhaixing, and also giving her a way out. "Hmph!" The cold and beautiful woman turned in the opposite direction from me, expressing her anger. But we all knew that getting Jing Gongyou to not object was already a great victory. Unlike Jing Gongyu, who looked excitedly at the group descending from the flagship, I wanted to see Shangguan Xiaolian; becoming a demon wasn't for her beauty.
When the five major merchant houses of the Great Yuan Kingdom came to my Liufeng Kingdom to purchase grain, the largest buyer was "Deyuju," the largest rice merchant house in the Great Yuan Kingdom. This "Deyuju," which controlled 20% of the Great Yuan Kingdom's rice supply, was owned by the Shangguan family, to which Shangguan Xiaolian belonged. Furthermore, based on intelligence, the idea of hoarding this grain for a later high-price sale was precisely Shangguan Xiaolian's scheme. Since
I wanted to buy the grain back, I inevitably had to deal with her. It was a rare opportunity
to see my future rival, so how could I let it pass?

Chapter Two: Shangguan Xiaolian.
I had previously seen Murong Rui's grand display on the sea and thought she was truly shameless. But now, seeing Shangguan Xiaolian's display, I realized she was just as flamboyant. The first to disembark from the flagship were twenty beautiful women dressed in silver-white armor. They were all around twenty years old, tall, and pretty.
The armor worn by the beautiful female guards was certainly not the kind used on the battlefield, but rather exquisitely crafted soft armor that only protected their chests, backs, and thighs, with a long sword hanging from their backs, making them look imposing.
Hosokawa Itsuki muttered to himself, "Just this armor and sword alone probably cost a thousand gold coins per set."
Despite their charming and alluring appearances, the twenty beautiful warrior girls immediately took up positions upon disembarking, separating the onlookers, indicating they had undergone rigorous training. Their ruthless gazes also suggested they had killed before.
The port staff were immediately thrown into turmoil. They had never hosted Shangguan Xiaolian's fleet before, and seeing one of the goddesses in the hearts of the people of Jiangnan was a dream come true. To be blocked by these twenty female guards was unsettling, and some shouts were inevitable.
However, the shouts and commotion abruptly ceased the next moment, leaving only the sound of waves crashing against the pier and the light cries of seagulls in the entire harbor area. The only thing that could quell their discontent was the appearance of the "Poisonous Scorpion Fairy." A stunningly beautiful girl in a black brocade robe stepped lightly off the ship, escorted by twelve beautiful female warriors arranged in a "well" formation. Looking at the adoring crowd around her, she smiled slightly, waved to them, and then walked away. Behind her, twenty more beautiful girls remained on guard.
A careful count revealed that Shangguan Xiaolian was actually surrounded by fifty-two beautiful female warriors. If I'm not mistaken, they were proficient in at least ten different formations, striving to protect their master in times of crisis.
"Wow..."
Gasps of astonishment rippled through the air only after she had walked a dozen meters or so, followed by a triumphant roar, as if she had won a battle. This only heightened Jing Gongyu's excitement and anticipation, while even Gongtaro and Hosokawa Itsuki felt a surge of curiosity and anticipation for this "Poisonous Scorpion Queen" approaching from afar.
As for Jing Gongyu... when have you ever seen a stunningly beautiful woman show affection for another incredibly beautiful woman?
Even from a distance, I could clearly see the "Poisonous Scorpion Queen's" face. Shangguan Xiaolian was probably no more than twenty years old. Her entire demeanor was as delicate and beautiful as the peonies on her boat, exuding an imposing nobility. Her skin was as white as snow and as lustrous as jade, bright and dazzling. Her long, black hair cascaded down her back, fluttering slightly in the sea breeze, the gentle curves captivating.
Shangguan Xiaolian's figure was just like the Sailor Moon she had chosen—tall, perfect, and exceptionally graceful. Her arched eyebrows reached her temples, and beneath her thick, long eyelashes, her alluring eyes sparkled. Below her delicate nose, her thin, pinkish-red lips were exquisitely beautiful—truly a peerless beauty, a masterpiece sculpted by heaven.
What a stunning woman!
This girl, who could definitely rank among the top ten beauties in the world, was already on par with my wives Shen Yuanyuan, Si Xiqiong, and Wang Miao'er in terms of looks alone; she also had her own unique charm compared to the not-yet-wives Xiaoyu and Guan Wan'er. All six of them possessed different kinds of breathtaking beauty, making it difficult to choose a favorite.
However, just now, when she waved to the port staff, I clearly saw that beneath Shangguan Xiaolian's smile, her eyes remained cold and devoid of emotion, though most people couldn't see it.
The girl known as the "Poisonous Scorpion Demoness" was far more than just beautiful on the outside! After pondering for a moment, Shangguan Xiaolian had already reached the checkpoint. Barricades were already in place, leaving a wide passage. "Thank you for your hard work, everyone..."
Shangguan Xiaolian smiled gently again, addressing the soldiers lined up on both sides. Her voice was gentle and soothing, like a clear spring flowing into the heart. The soldiers, like the dockworkers from before, were trembling with excitement, speechless, only able to smile foolishly at their goddess.
"Xiaoyan, don't forget to give each of the brothers here, including those from the dock, a reward of one hundred gold coins."
Shangguan Xiaolian turned to a maid beside her and said, "This is my first time using the 'Yu' brand dock, and they've been excellent!"
"Yes!"
the beautiful warrior girl named Xiaoyan nodded in agreement.
With at least two hundred people on both sides, a single reward of over twenty thousand gold coins—"Poisonous Scorpion Demoness" was truly generous.
Because she didn't deliberately lower her voice, the effect was immediately apparent. "Thank you for the reward, Miss Shangguan!"
The soldiers shouted excitedly, their voices so loud that Jing Gongyu, standing beside me, couldn't help but cover her ears, looking at them with disdain.
It was clear they were genuinely happy and grateful.
One hundred gold coins wasn't much; the official staff and soldiers at the port received decent salaries, thirty to fifty gold coins a month.
What they cared about was Shangguan Xiaolian's attitude. This gentle, friend-like attitude, coming from a woman of exceptional talent, truly warmed their hearts. For a moment, they even considered dying for this Miss Shangguan.
"Alright, I won't disturb you any longer."
Shangguan Xiaolian nodded slightly, waved with a smile, and gracefully walked through the checkpoint.
Not far from the checkpoint, our group, dressed in Japanese attire, stood out. As the Sailor Moon girls frowned and watched us, Shangguan Xiaolian also looked over.
"Huh?"
Shangguan Xiaolian's gaze swept across us, then settled on Jing Gongyu. After a moment's thought, the stunningly beautiful girl walked towards us. Before she even reached us, dozens of beautiful female warriors had already surrounded us. Even though Jing Gongyu had a fondness for beautiful women, being surrounded by so many murderous beauties didn't put him in a good mood. Not only him, but Jing Gongyou's expression was also unpleasant. "This... is Madam Jing Gong?"
Shangguan Xiaolian greeted softly. "Miss Shangguan, hello." Jing
Gongyou nodded slightly. "If I remember correctly, your mortgage will expire in three days. May I ask if your business has recovered?"
Only then did I realize why Jing Gongyou's expression was so unpleasant; it turned out that Shangguan Xiaolian was her creditor!
The aloof and beautiful young woman raised an eyebrow: "Don't worry, Miss Shangguan, we'll think of a way."
"Hmm, that's good."
Shangguan Xiaolian chuckled softly again: "By the way, I received some news these past two days that concerns you. Apparently, the Taichung-bo family of Dongying Island, after failing to capture you throughout the island, seems to be hiring assassins to capture you and other members of the Jinggong family and bring you back to Japan to be sacrificed to their patriarch. You must be careful!"
"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Shangguan. We will be careful."
Seeing Shangguan Xiaolian say this, Jinggong You's cold face softened considerably. "Huh?"
The stunning young woman suddenly exclaimed in surprise. Because she had been staring at Jinggong You, I noticed that for the first time, her eyes truly matched her voice and expression, showing surprise.
Immediately afterward, Shangguan Xiaolian's eyes swept around among us again, then landed on me: "And this gentleman is…"
I said arrogantly, "Greetings, Miss Shangguan, I am Yagyu Zhaixing."
"Heh, so you're the new generation master of the Yagyu family who killed Ootaka Masatsugu!"
Shangguan Xiaolian smiled again, her eyes cold and indifferent: "I heard that the Ootaka family spared no expense to invite eighteen disciples of Ryūzō Shugorō to Jiangnan, just to take your head back."
"If he has the ability, I guess I can't object."
I shrugged.
How my identity was exposed was too simple. Iguchi Daiki of the Fortune Gambling House knew, and I knew that he had sent people to follow me to the secret residence of the Kōkyō family. If something happened there, he would have no reason to help me cover it up, but would inform on me immediately and claim the reward.
This was a situation I deliberately created, because in this way, the name Yagyu Zhaixing would be remembered and known once again. "Hehe...you're so funny!"
Shangguan Xiaolian tilted her head. "I hope to see you again. Sasaki Takayoshi isn't someone to be trifled with."
She didn't seem to care much about me. After speaking, she turned to look at Jing Gongyou, her pink lips moving slightly as she whispered something to her before smiling and leaving. But on the beautiful young woman's face, her words suddenly brought expressions of shock, shame, and indignation. Watching the group of beautiful girls depart, her expression was incredibly complicated.
"Mistress, what did she say?"
Kyotaro asked indignantly, as if he would rush up and fight the Sailor Guardians the moment Jing Gongyou opened her mouth—of course, he would definitely be carried back in the end.
"Mind your own business! Why do you care so much?"
Unexpectedly, Jing Gongyou glared at Kyotaro and said coldly, "Let's go! What are you still doing here?"
"Oh!"
Even Jing Gongyu could tell that his mother was about to explode, so he quickly put on a submissive act, not daring to anger her.
The Jinggong family's residence is located on Baihu Avenue, the most bustling street in Suzhou. Baihu Avenue's fame is undeniable, situated between the Suzhou government office on the left and a branch of the Jiangnan General Chamber of Commerce on the right. Nearly three hundred households line the kilometer-long avenue, each a prominent and influential merchant.
While the Jiangnan General Chamber of Commerce's headquarters are in Hangzhou, its Suzhou branch is equally powerful, as it is home to the Shangguan family, making it no less prestigious than Hangzhou, home to the Murong family.
Naturally, the Shangguan family wouldn't live in the city's congested areas. Their residence is located five miles outside Suzhou, stretching for dozens of miles, featuring several small bridges, lakes, and a small hill… truly befitting a grand and powerful aristocratic family.
In terms of sheer grandeur, the Shangguan and Murong families, the two pillars of the Jiangnan General Chamber of Commerce, far surpass the three great families of the continent. Their only shortcoming is the long history of the three great families; the Shangguan and Murong families have only existed for a little over a hundred years, while the three great families have weathered a thousand years of trials.
The Jinggong family's Jinggong residence, located towards the back of Baihu Avenue, may not be as prestigious as those in the foreground, but Jinggong Hideyoshi paid a hefty price to buy the mansion from a declining merchant family and renovate it as the Jinggong family's foothold. In the business world, strength is crucial, and the luxurious grandeur of a residence is an indicator of power, especially among the merchants residing on Baihu Avenue, who receive respect simply for mentioning their home. When Jinggong Hideyoshi first arrived, he spent one-fifth of the imperial treasury to buy and renovate this mansion.
Many at the time found it incomprehensible, thinking the Crown Prince was wasting his time, but later events proved him to be incredibly astute.
After the Kyou family moved into the White Tiger Avenue, the Jiangnan merchants who had previously looked down on them for their Japanese identity began to enthusiastically cooperate with them. This allowed the Kyou family to not only quickly recoup the cost of their mansion but also gradually establish themselves among the Jiangnan merchants, thus expanding into other parts of the Great Yuan Kingdom, into Japan, and even into the countries of Ryufu and Huayun.
Stepping into this fifteen-acre mansion, seeing its Jiangnan-style pavilions, flowers, and trees, I could imagine why Kyou Hideyoshi had spent ten million gold coins! That was several years ago; now it would be worth at least twenty million gold coins. Of the thirty million gold coins Kyou Yu obtained through mortgaging, fifteen million came from the Kyou family's mortgage—mortgaging and selling are different; the mortgage price is much lower than the actual selling price.
We had no servants with us until we returned to the Kyou family's residence. The servant who opened the door was overjoyed and ran inside to report our arrival.
A short while later, as we passed through a courtyard and entered a wider, more elegant sea of flowers, three stunningly beautiful girls came to greet us.
The twin girls in front had a smile tinged with worry, while the pure and innocent girl behind them remained calm.
"Sister-in-law, you're back!"
Jing Gongmei said sweetly.
"Hmm..."
Jing Gongyou's expression, which had been annoyed by Shangguan Xiaolian, finally relaxed a bit, and she forced a smile, saying, "Thank you for your hard work while I was away."
"We're all family, there's no need to mention how hard it was for you,"
Jing Gongmei said politely.
"Sister-in-law, how did your trip to Kobe go? You're back so quickly, did you get everything sorted out?"
Jing Gongcai wasn't as gentle as her sister; her first question went straight to the point. Upon hearing this, Jing Gongyou's face fell, and Jing Gongmei immediately noticed. After glaring at her sister, she said gently, "Come on, sister-in-law, you must be tired from your journey. There's still miso soup in the kitchen. I'll ask them to make some grilled meat and rice balls. Let's go sit in the dining room first, and we'll be able to eat soon."
The cold and beautiful young woman gently shook her head: "I'm not hungry right now. Mei, Cai, I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Alright!" The two women looked at each other and nodded in agreement .
"Kyoutaro, come with me. Mr. Hosokawa, you take Yu'er and Yagyu-kun to rest and eat first, and then get some rest. You've worked hard these past few days."
The cold and beautiful woman said to us. When she looked at me, she didn't have the embarrassment and annoyance she had a few days ago, but instead ignored me, which was really strange.
As the four of them left, Xiaoyu, who was a step behind, gave me a sharp look, then turned her head away in confusion, clearly not wanting to be with us.
"Little vixen, don't talk, come and eat with us."
I said telepathically.
The stunningly beautiful girl, who had already turned to walk away, trembled slightly upon hearing this. When she turned back, her expression had changed to one of ease, her eyes brimming with undisguised joy.
"What a coincidence! I haven't eaten yet either, let's go together!"
Xiaoyu said with a charming smile.
Hosokawa Itsuki quickly turned his eyes to the other side, while Jing Gongyu stared in disbelief. Neither of them had ever seen Xiaoyu with such a captivating smile, and they couldn't help but feel their hearts flutter.

Chapter 3 Revealing Identity
In the afternoon, the sun lazily hung in the sky, its warm rays comforting people. The weather in Jiangnan was unlike the dry cold of the north, nor the humid heat of the south. Situated between the two, Jiangnan had distinct seasons and picturesque scenery, making it ideal for living and traveling. It had always been a place that many literati and poets longed for.
I've never had much affection for those literati and poets. Don't be fooled by their endless discussions of the Four Books and Five Classics; in the end, don't they still end up talking about prostitutes' beds?
They even have the audacity to call it "romantic without being vulgar."
Pah! It's just a self-deception; deep down, they're still vulgar.
With such contempt, guided by the pimp, I passed through a group of women openly indulging in debauchery during the day and entered a private room on the third floor.
Uh…
don't misunderstand, I'm not here for pleasure. In fact, given my current humble appearance and plain clothes, the prostitutes didn't even glance at me.
As soon as the pimp closed the door to the third-floor room, a delicate fragrance wafted into my nose.
Looking up, I saw a stunningly beautiful young woman smiling at me. "Your Highness, I thought you were ugly enough before, but I didn't expect you to be even uglier now."
Xiaoyu chuckled. "It seems you've sacrificed a lot for this mission!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Come and give me a massage. You have no idea how much I've encountered on this trip to Japan."
I sat down at the octagonal table, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip. "Hmm... this tiredness... includes sleeping with Lady Jing?"
"Cough cough..."
The tea I just drank immediately choked me. The little vixen then came behind me, gently patting my back to help me catch my breath.
"Hey little vixen, do you know that talking nonsense can scare people to death?"
After catching my breath, I swung my hand back to slap her shapely buttocks, but Xiaoyu was prepared and giggled as she dodged it.
"Your Highness, did I really say something wrong?"
The stunningly beautiful young woman turned to face me, our eyes meeting. "You kept saying you liked me, but you never made a move. Instead, you slept with that cold, aloof woman you so despise. It infuriates me! Am I really that unattractive?"
Xiaoyu's sweet voice held a magical quality, pleasant to listen to and even a little heart-fluttering.
This girl's charm was truly omnipresent when she was with me! I gave a wry smile and recounted how I'd had a one-night stand with Jing Gongyou, concluding, "That's the truth. Don't you think I'm being wronged?"
The girl didn't mince words: "I think Lady Jing Gong is even more wronged."
I glared at her: "Please! She was the one who seduced me first, okay?"
Xiaoyu analyzed earnestly, "She probably just wanted to play around with you, trying to use her charm to keep you in the Jing Gong family. Who knew you, you beast, would immediately pull her into bed? Plus, with the powerful attraction of your Heavenly Demon Art, how could this long-deprived beautiful widow escape!" "Hey, what did you say? Beast? How can you talk to your husband like that?"
I retorted angrily, "If I'm a beast, what are you?"
"Hehe... I have nothing to do with you right now! Don't even think about capturing me... When I choose a husband, I'll only choose one who's good to me. If he dares to treat me badly, I'll beat him until he obeys,"
the stunningly beautiful girl smiled, "Your martial arts are better than mine, I can't beat you, so no way..."
"You... what kind of logic is that?"
I felt a cold sweat break out, and hesitated for a moment, "How about, when we're in bed, I'll let you bully me, okay? I promise I won't fight back!"
"Go to hell..."
The little vixen instantly transformed into a fiery little pepper, saying hatefully. But the next moment, she burst out laughing, her laughter so flamboyant and charming. "Liu Ri, I've noticed you really lack the awareness of a first-class duke!"
Xiao Yu chuckled. "Can this fill an empty stomach?"
I said gently, "I don't like hypocrisy; I want real benefits."
"Perhaps that's why you've succeeded..."
The stunningly beautiful girl unexpectedly nodded in agreement, "Once you set your sights on a goal, you go all out, not caring about appearances or vanity, always pursuing the essence—that's quite similar to our Holy Church's outstanding ancestors."
"Who said that? Who said I don't care about appearances?"
I immediately denied, "My wives have to be as beautiful as angels."
"Liu Ri...you're so annoying...you know perfectly well that's not what I'm talking about!"
The girl said to me, both amused and annoyed.
I smiled slightly, ceasing my banter. "Little vixen, you've been in the Great Yuan Kingdom for so long, have you learned anything?"
Seeing that I was getting serious, Xiaoyu also dropped her jokes and sighed, "I was going to tell you that this big-breasted, brainless woman was so stupid that she ignored the objections of the Jinggong sisters and went on to do a business she couldn't possibly control, but you know more about it than I do... Does that mean she trusts outsiders more than the Jinggong sisters?"
"That's not necessarily true,"
I shook my head. "Perhaps she wants to prove that she can develop and expand the Jinggong family without Mei and Cai's help."
"Hmm, maybe,"
the stunningly beautiful girl whispered. "Actually, Jing Gongyou isn't as open-minded as you think. In Jiangnan, there are more than just one or two wealthy merchants who covet her beauty, but she's never given them a kind look. Aside from being all looks and no brains in business and in hiring, she's quite different from other Japanese women in upholding chastity; she's very much like the chaste women of your Liufeng Kingdom."
I didn't respond to her words, but pondered, "Have you found out who set up this scheme against them?"
Xiaoyu shook her head slightly, "Not yet, but I think such a big deception couldn't be done by an ordinary person. It must be at least a member of the Jiangnan General Chamber of Commerce."
I frowned and asked, "Are there many members in the Jiangnan General Chamber of Commerce?"
"Not many, just over a hundred in total."
"Little vixen, are you teasing me?"
"How am I teasing you? This whole thing was really meticulously and secretly done. I don't know who did it..." "Xiaoyu said angrily, "I didn't say anything, I just accompanied your little wife here to suffer, and I had to worry and be afraid. What did I do for you? And you still don't trust me."
Even though I knew Xiaoyu was mostly putting on an act, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "Okay, okay, I admit I was wrong, is that alright?"
"It was your fault to begin with!" Xiaoyu pointed at me with her jade finger and said, "To punish you, you have to come with me to do something tonight."
"Wait a few days, you know I'm almost overwhelmed by the grain purchase!"
I said, distressed.
"Buying grain isn't a big problem. People in Jiangnan will sell as much as you want as long as you pay them enough. Jiangnan has had a bumper harvest this year, so this grain is useless."
My eyes lit up. This was indeed good news. At least under the current circumstances, the obstacles wouldn't be too great. If the Great Yuan Kingdom also suffered a famine this year, it would be even harder to buy the grain.
"By the way, I think your base is quite impressive."
With a sense of security, I felt a little more relaxed. "Look at the scale, look at the popularity here, it must be at least in the top ten in Suzhou, right?"
"More or less."
Xiaoyu pouted her pink lips. "Actually, we used to be much more prosperous, but... humph, anyway, this time you have to help us kill those bastards who bullied us!"
"Bullying my wife's family is bullying me!"
I said resolutely. "Don't worry, little vixen, once I've taken care of things, I'll see who can stop me!"
"Rogue..."
What should have been words of gratitude turned into a different word in the mouth of the beautiful girl, but judging from her charming expression, she was in a pretty good mood!
Late at night, in the Jing Palace, most people had already fallen asleep, with only a few people on duty. The security along Baihu Avenue has always been excellent, as it's home to many wealthy merchants. Any incident involving any of them would be disastrous. Therefore, the Suzhou Prefect simply expanded the patrol area, assigning soldiers to guard a vast region including the Prefect's residence, Baihu Avenue, and the headquarters of the Jiangnan General Chamber of Commerce.
Consequently, there's virtually no need for additional security forces. This official attention and protection is one reason why properties on Baihu Avenue are so highly sought after. Not far from Jing Gongyou's small building is the Jing Gong sisters' villa. Before they went to Liufeng Kingdom, this was their boudoir, and it still exists. They're staying here with Xiaoyu now that they've returned. Following Xiaoyu's directions, I quickly found the twin beauties' boudoir. As soon as I entered, two hot bodies, carrying a fragrant breeze, rushed into my arms. "Brother…"
Two sweet, coquettish cries rang out simultaneously, filled with joy, excitement, and a hint of relief.
"My darlings, you've worked so hard!" Having long since returned to my former appearance, I embraced my two beautiful little wives, affectionately pulling them to sit on the bedside. By the bright moonlight, I carefully examined them. "You've lost some weight? And you don't seem to be in good spirits. Did that wretched woman bully you again?" "
No..."
The two beauties shook their heads repeatedly. Jinggong Cai said coquettishly, "It's just that without our brother by our side, we're very anxious and don't know what to do..."
Jinggong Mei didn't speak, but her expression mirrored her sister's.
These two were kind and simple girls. Although they were skilled in martial arts, they never had much of a say. Before, Jinggong Hideyoshi had directed them; now, I was making all the decisions for them. Women, of course, need men to tell them what to do! Since we met, this was the first time they'd been away from me for so long, and the first time they'd made their own decisions, especially regarding the life and death of the Jinggong family. It was no wonder they were anxious.
So when Xiaoyu said that her man had arrived, the two twin beauties were overjoyed and couldn't wait to go to the guesthouse to find me.
I kissed the pink lips of my two little wives and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm here to help the Jinggong family resolve their issues. Aren't your families my family too?"
I didn't feel embarrassed at all saying the same cheesy things to three beauties in one day... What? Is it illegal to say sweet nothings to your wives?
"Mmm..."
The Jinggong sisters nodded heavily.
I lay down with them in my arms, one on each side, their fragrant, soft bodies so comfortable in my embrace. "I heard the Jinggong family has been quite turbulent lately. Since Jinggong You and the others went to Fusang, have any fools bothered you?"
Jinggong Mei wouldn't lie to me. She said sweetly, "Some scoundrels came to test us, but after Cai'er crippled them, no one came anymore. However, some people came with IOUs written by my sister-in-law. I saw the amounts weren't much, so I gave them all. It cost about two million gold coins."
These two were quite wealthy. Back home, their stepmothers gave them 100,000 gold coins a month as pocket money. Now that they were in Xiliang City, as Young Master Ri's personal guards and bed warmers, I naturally had to give them a share of the salary— Cough cough, don't even mention it. I had to pay for it myself. Others earn 100,000 taels of silver in three years as a minor county magistrate, but I've been paying for everything myself since I became an official. This year, the Emperor and his father-in-law are selecting the most outstanding officials. If they don't choose me, then there would truly be no justice in the world.
With their salaries, allowances, and the gold coins from their dowries, Xiao Mei'er and Xiao Cai'er each had at least five million gold coins, enough to be considered poor anywhere.
I was taken aback and said, "You're not going to say that all this money is just for them, are you?"
Jing Gongmei pouted and snuggled into my arms, protesting, "Hmm... Brother, we're family, are you going to just watch your sister-in-law and the others struggle?"
"But you can't use your own savings to help them, what will happen to our little baby when they don't have money?"
Jing Gongcai rolled her eyes at me and kissed me, "And what about their greatest father? Would you abandon us?"
I shook my head and smiled slightly, "Alright, alright, I can't argue with you. I'll give you the money later, you can keep it as your own savings and use it when you need it."
"Thank you, husband..."
The two women kissed me on the cheek again, beaming. This was money from my husband, so why not take it? What girl doesn't have some secret stash of money saved up?
The next moment, after Jing Gongmei gave her sister a wink, Jing Gongcai climbed on top of me, wriggling like a little eel, teasing my desire: "Brother... I want to ask you for a favor, okay?"
I couldn't resist and wrapped my arms around the beautiful girl's buttocks, answering, "Okay!"
"Sister-in-law owes a lot of money right now, will you pay it off for her?"
"Okay!"
"Don't say that... Hmm?"
The little princess of the Yamato tribe was stunned. She glanced at her sister and saw that her sister was also surprised. She then looked up and met my eyes, saying, "Brother, you agreed?"
"Yes."
"But you didn't even ask how much it was. It really is a lot!"
Little Cai propped herself up and drew a big circle with her hands, looking playful and cute. "No matter how much, my darling wives have spoken, how can I say no?"
"Sister, how much will it cost?"
Jing Gongcai was so moved she didn't know what to say, so she asked her sister. "It seems...it seems like it will cost 150 million gold coins."
Jing Gongmei glared at her sister first, then whispered. "That much?"
I gasped. It seems the little girl really wasn't lying. The two beauties quickly said, "Brother, if we don't have that much, that's fine. We'll figure it out together."
This time, when I came to the Great Yuan Kingdom to buy grain, I only had 500 million gold coins given by Emperor Kangzong, 250 million donated by the wealthy people in the capital, and I raised 50 million gold coins by selling jewelry. The total was only 800 million, but we needed to buy grain worth at least 1.2 billion gold coins, not including transportation costs, etc. We
already had a shortfall of 400 million, but these beauties wanted 150 million, which was really too much.
Actually, the two beauties from the Jinggong Palace only wanted 100 million gold coins; they would figure out the rest themselves. But seeing how generous I was, Jinggong Mei couldn't resist and directly quoted the amount Jinggong You wanted.
"No, that's not what I meant. I'm just amazed at how much trouble this woman can cause."
I smiled and patted the beautiful girl's shapely buttocks. "It's just 150 million, right? We'll cover it for her!"
"Wow, really?"
Jinggong Cai looked at me with shining eyes. "Isn't that too much?"
Jinggong Mei was considering my feelings.
"It's alright. Anyway, I need to raise some money when I go to the Great Yuan Kingdom. Since I'm short 400 million, adding another 150 million is nothing."
I smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that my little darlings asked for it? No matter how difficult it is for me, I have to help you complete your mission!"
"Waaah... Brother... You're so good..."
The two beauties immediately burst into tears, clinging even closer to me.
Isn't affection only revealed in times of crisis? Although my current situation isn't exactly dire, it's definitely difficult. In such a challenging circumstances, the fact that I could still readily offer such a large sum of money to help my wives' families without hesitation shows a level of courage and magnanimity that few can match.
From another perspective, it also demonstrates how highly I regard the Jinggong sisters.
"Come on, be good, don't cry anymore, or you'll end up looking like a little kitten, how will you make love with your brother then?"
I kept kissing the beauties, calming their excitement. "Pfft..."
The two girls immediately burst into laughter, and Jinggong Cai even gently bit my lip: "Bad brother..."
After a while of laughter, I said, "But we need to agree on this first. We can give the money, but how and when is the appropriate time to give it? You have to listen to me on these things."
"Okay!"
Jinggong Mei nodded readily: "We'll listen to brother."
"That's right... It's good to discipline and teach our sister-in-law a little, so she won't continue to make mistakes and cause trouble for brother when she goes to Liufeng Kingdom,"
Jinggong Cai added.
"Huh?"
I was taken aback. "She's going to Liufeng Kingdom?"
"Yes!"
Jing Gongcai nodded slightly. "After paying back the money this time, the Jing Gong family won't have much left in Dayuan Kingdom. At least the Jing Gong family still has some businesses in Liufeng Kingdom. Plus, my brother is the Duke of Lanting, so he wouldn't let my sister-in-law be deceived again. That's why she wants to rely on my brother's protection."
Jing Gongcai meant that Jing Gongyou wanted the entire Jing Gong family to rely on my protection, not that Jing Gongyou wanted to be protected by me... Of course, neither of the sisters knew that their beautiful widowed sister-in-law was actually their sister. I was a little worried that they would be unhappy, so I thought I would wait for a better opportunity to talk about it later. But then again, in Fusang, it's only natural for a younger brother to take care of his sister-in-law after his brother's death! "They're going to Liufeng Kingdom?"
I frowned. I was trying to push them away, but why are they getting closer and closer to me? "Brother... Sister-in-law and Yu'er are our only family besides you... Can't we just let them live peacefully as wealthy people in the capital?"
Jing Gongmei pleaded.
"And there's Gong Taro, his character is excellent, and he's practically your apprentice. Aren't you going to take him in?"
Jing Gongcai chimed in, following her sister's lead.
I suddenly thought about it. Putting aside the fact that my two beautiful wives' requests were reasonable, the fact that Jing Gongyou was already my woman meant I shouldn't leave her in the Great Yuan Kingdom. Who knows what might happen? If something did happen, there would be no chance for retribution!
But with that unpleasant nephew Jing Gongyu around, it seems like nowhere will be peaceful!
As I pondered, I saw the tension and worry in the twin sisters' beautiful eyes, and I couldn't help but smile slightly. "I am a little worried. Jing Gongyu's temperament will cause trouble sooner or later; that would be a real problem."
"Oh, so that's what you're worried about, brother!"
Jing Gongcai said with a charming laugh. "Actually, we could set up the Jing Gong residence in Wushuang County. With your little followers keeping an eye on him, he can't possibly cause any trouble, right?"
"That's a good idea!"
I said, my eyes lighting up. "But you two have to promise me that your sister-in-law won't say we're imprisoning them."
"She won't..."
Jing Gongmei said firmly, "After this blow, it will be hard for my sister-in-law to recover. She's never been cut out for business, otherwise she wouldn't have been bullied like this."
"Sometimes I think, isn't it nice for us to put aside our hatred and live with the people we love?"
Jing Gongcai said softly, "Today you kill me, tomorrow I kill you, endless grudges and killings, how can we live?"
"Tsk tsk, little girl, I didn't expect you to be so philosophical!" I kissed Jing Gongcai's delicate face, "Well said, I just hope you're happy, as happy as I am, that's enough!"
"Oh... brother... I love you so much..."
As I kissed her, Jing Gongcai, who was already excited, felt her desire surge even more. One hand slid down and touched his large penis through his pants, "Brother... come and love your little Cai'er!"
